TYSONS CORNER, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/14 -- They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that's never truer than when you're traveling. Whether people are looking to refuel before meetings or get energized for a day of sightseeing, there's nothing like being on the road to work up an appetite. But guests of the Tysons Corner Marriott have even more reason to leave their diets at home. Its new Stay for Breakfast package combines relaxation in organically-inspired rooms with rejuvenation at its American restaurant, Shutters, for one palatable promotion.

Just in time for spring holidays, the Stay for Breakfast Package is ideal for couples looking for a weekend escape or parents on the hunt for a family-friendly hotel near Tysons Corner. Guests will enjoy thoughtfully designed rooms that stand out among those of other Washington, D.C.-area hotels for their refreshing sensibilities. Inspired by nature, the guest rooms' aesthetic features the right blend of luxury (think plush bedding and THANN bath amenities) and tech-savvy features (enhanced Internet service is available), all enveloped by soothing natural hues, clean lines and warm woods.

After a restful evening, guests can capitalize on this most tempting of Tysons Corner hotel packages and make their way to Shutters restaurant. (The package includes breakfast for two parents and two children ages 12 and younger.) Named for the distinctive feature that dominates the décor, Shutters celebrates modern American cuisine at its best. The restaurant is at once relaxed and sophisticated to welcome everyone from families enjoying their morning repast, to businesspeople gathering for an impromptu drink in the evening. And the menu reflects this diversity of experiences, offering a variety of American favorites to satisfy all palates.

Considering the McLean hotel's easy access to the D.C. metro area and the 495, visitors would do well to eat a hearty breakfast. After all, the sights of the nation's capital are just a Metro ride away, and the hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to both the Metro station as well as area attractions like the Mosaic District and Tysons Corner shops. Plus guests can always just walk across the street to one of the country's most influential retail destinations, Tysons Corner Center.

Business professionals no longer wonder if they'll migrate to the cloud; it's now a matter of when. The cloud environment has proved to be a major force in transitioning to an agile business model that enables quick decisions and fast implementation that solidify customer relationships. And when the cloud is combined with the power of cognitive computing, it drives innovation and transformation that achieves astounding competitive advantage.

When building large, cloud-based applications that operate at a high scale, it's important to maintain a high availability and resilience to failures. In order to do that, you must be tolerant of failures, even in light of failures in other areas of your application. "Fly two mistakes high" is an old adage in the radio control airplane hobby. It means, fly high enough so that if you make a mistake, you can continue flying with room to still make mistakes.

Machine learning has taken residence at our cities' cores and now we can finally have "smart cities." Cities are a collection of buildings made to provide the structure and safety necessary for people to function, create and survive. Buildings are a pool of ever-changing performance data from large automated systems such as heating and cooling to the people that live and work within them. Through machine learning, buildings can optimize performance, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort by ...

Containers and Kubernetes allow for code portability across on-premise VMs, bare metal, or multiple cloud provider environments. Yet, despite this portability promise, developers may include configuration and application definitions that constrain or even eliminate application portability. In this session we'll describe best practices for "configuration as code" in a Kubernetes environment. We will demonstrate how a properly constructed containerized app can be deployed to both Amazon and Azure ...

This is going to be a live demo on a production ready CICD pipeline which automate the deployment of application onto AWS ECS and Fargate.
The same pipeline will automate deployment into various environment such as Test, UAT, and Prod. The pipeline will go through various stages such as source, build, test, approval, UAT stage, Prod stage.
The demo will utilize only AWS services including AWS CodeCommit, Codebuild, code pipeline, Elastic container service (ECS), ECR, and Fargate.

Today, we have more data to manage than ever. We also have better algorithms that help us access our data faster. Cloud is the driving force behind many of the data warehouse advancements we have enjoyed in recent years. But what are the best practices for storing data in the cloud for machine learning and data science applications?

"Avere Systems deals with data performance optimization in the cloud or on-premise. Even to this day many organizations struggle with what we call the problem of data gravity - 'Where should I put the data?' - because the data dictates ultimately where the jobs are going to run," explained Scott Jeschonek, Director Cloud Solutions at Avere Systems, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

If a machine can invent, does this mean the end of the patent system as we know it? The patent system, both in the US and Europe, allows companies to protect their inventions and helps foster innovation. However, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be set to disrupt the patent system as we know it. This talk will examine how AI may change the patent landscape in the years to come. Furthermore, ways in which companies can best protect their AI related inventions will be examined from both a US and...
